严格地讲,贫穷不仅仅是一种状态,它是一种罪恶,它使我们这个优雅怡然、从容不迫地度过了五千年的古老民族几乎丧失了在这个星球上继续生存的权力。当十几亿人口的中国突然意识到这个问题时,我们所习惯的那种充满牧歌情调的日子便戛然而止。 Strictly speaking, poverty is more than just a state; it is a kind of evil. It has given our elegant and relaxed, ancient people, who spent five thousand years leisurely, almost losing their right to survive on this planet. When China, with billions of people, is suddenly aware of this issue, the kind of pastoral song that we are accustomed to will come to an abrupt end.
